Here's a good article I found on Yahoo! Sports about the firing of Indiana State men's basketball coach Royce Waltman.The best quote from Coach Waltman after the loss at the Valley tournament last night after being asked if he would retire or try to find another coaching job:
"I can't get a head coaching job. You gotta understand. If you get fired for cheating, you can get hired right back again. If you get fired for losing, it's like you've got leprosy, so young coaches need to bear that in mind. Cheating and not graduating players will not get you in trouble, but boy, that damn losing."

As an ISU grad, I'm embarrassed Royce was "dismissed" in such a bungled way. It is nice to know that he cares about more than just winning basketball games. His players are better men because of him! The YAHOO article was a great tribute to a great man.
